Old Main, Administrative building at Pennsylvania State University, US
The limestone structure features a prominent clock tower and serves as the central administrative hub of Pennsylvania State University, housing executive offices.
The original Old Main, constructed in 1867 with locally quarried stone, provided living quarters for 400 students until structural issues led to its reconstruction in 1930.
Henry Varnum Poor painted extensive frescoes on the second floor between 1940 and 1949, illustrating the land grant history across 1,300 square feet.
The building maintains regular administrative hours and features informational plaques around its perimeter detailing the architectural and educational significance of the structure.
The bell in the tower, donated by the class of 1904, plays Westminster chimes and sections of the Penn State fight song at scheduled intervals.
